Chapter 140: 139.2

“Please, please…….”

Ilona tightened her grip on the child’s hand and commenced her prayer. The maid was moved to tears as she observed the event. Prince Robert’s condition was eerily similar to that of Prince Dietrich.

Everyone kept quiet as rumors about the first prince’s impending death spread throughout the palace. Similar to how she did with Prince Dietrich, the queen searched for a variety of medical professionals. However, all of the prominent physicians shook their heads. They only administered fever-reducers as medicine.

“Ah, Your Majesty.”

“Say it.”

“I had assumed that my distant relative in the West had passed away from the plague, but he claimed to have recovered after taking the medicine that a healer gave him.”

“What? Is that true?”

The queen shifted her gaze to the young maid. After some hesitation, the maid responded right away.

“Yeah. I couldn’t believe it either, so I questioned him numerous times, and he said he was truly cured.”

“What kind of healer is it, and where in the West?”

“……Sutmar.”

The maid’s hesitation to speak in this manner was only then apparent to her. Talking about Sutmar in the palace at the time was considered somewhat taboo.

Only then did Ilona recall the medicine that Marquis Songrad had intended to give her. After treating him so poorly, she felt ashamed to ask the marquis for another medicine, but she was in no position to feel ashamed.

“Please bring me letter paper immediately.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Say it once more.”

“Y, your majesty.”

“Say it again.”

“How dare you think that all the ships carrying spices will go down in the storm…”

Boom!

The Marquis Devorsen quickly knelt and bowed his head. A shard of crystal landed next to his cheek.

“Marquis, do you recall what you said when you first made me an offer to invest?”

“I apologize once again.”

“Didn’t you brag about it being safe and that you could get your investments back no matter what?”

“…….”

The marquis bowed deeply enough to touch the ground. He has no excuse for this. When he first learned that the ship carrying spices was having a problem and would be delayed, he ignored it.

He didn’t expect the waves to sink all five of them.

It’s not only him who lost a fortune. The marquis took the initiative in attracting investors, and more than ten nobles, including the king, staked their lives on it.

“What about the merchant, Ballint?”

“He was on that ship that sank, so he most likely died…….”

“Have you checked his mansion? Didn’t you say there was another business partner?”

“They appear to have poured all of their wealth into the ship, and now they’re rushing in front of Ballint’s mansion, picking up some items that might be worth the money.”

Sebastian firmly gripped his temple. The headache, which persisted for several days, grew worse. Marquis Devorsen trembled and scrutinized King’s waistline. He appears to be worried that he will draw a sword.

“Marquis Devorsen.”

“I’ll gladly accept any punishment.”

The king wanted to shout as loudly as he could and order Marquis Devorsen to slit his throat, but he refrained. Due to a number of unfavorable factors, his strength has actually significantly decreased. He was unable to simply assassinate the royalists’ leader, who claimed to be his hands and feet in this situation.

“…… leave”

“Oh, yes, yes!”

Fearing that the king would change his mind, Marquis Devorsen exited the room without looking back. He sat at his desk and performed numerous calculations to determine how much money was still in the treasury and how long it could last, but there was only one answer.

“Damn it.”

Nirseg would go bankrupt unless the war with Devon was resolved. Although a piece of land has been lawfully acquired from the start of the war until now, it is only natural that his authority will be overthrown if the war ends as it currently is.

“Your Highness, the queen has arrived.”
